Anyone heard of this? You leave a book, suitably labelled inside, in a public place for someone to pick up, read, pass on, and then record its travels on the above website.

I've always given books away, although it's not that often that I buy them, to be read by others, but this sounds cute.

If it's been mentioned here before, I do apologise.

I think it would be great to find out that one of my discarded novels had ended up far away.

Two years ago I was in a second-hand book store, and there was a book of mine, with my name in the front still, for sale. I'd given it to the op shop years before, and almost felt like buying it back just because it was such a funny thing to see it there.
